Chapter 95 ~ Funeral

Noah had tears running down his cheek as he walked over to Tatum and hugged her. Tatum is also full on crying while hugging Noah. Loosing Hailey isnt easy for them but im glad that they have eachother

Pastor: Tatum, would you like to come up and say anything?

Tatum: I cant. Im not capable of keeping myself together if i have to talk about her right now

Pastor: Anyone else?

Dixie: I would like to go

As i started walking up to the pastor, i felt Noahs arm around my hand and he pulled me into his chest then pulled away and held both my hands

Noah: She wont be saying anything. You can continue with the funeral

Dixie: Bu-

Noah: I know you baby. You are going to start to cry for Hailey while speaking and that isnt good for bean. I already made you cry so much about 5 or 6 days ago, do you really want to cry again and hurt bean?

Dixie: No

Noah: Good

Noah pulled me to his side and put an arm around my shoulder and i can hear him sniffling which means that he is still crying. How can i calm him down? I wish there was a way

Pastor: Since no one has anything again to say, i will start saying the prayer *starts saying the prayer*

Dear Lord,

We are so grateful that you have made us all in your own image, giving us gifts and talents with which to serve you.

Thank you for Hailey Beck life, and all the years her family and friends shared with her. We lift her to you today, in honour of the good they saw in her and the love they felt from her.

Please give them the strength to leave her in your care, in the knowledge of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Amen

Pastor: Now time to light her. Mr. Beck and Noah, please come foward

Noah and Mr. Beck walked up to the pastor. He handed Mr. Beck a stick that is already lit and Noah held Mr. Beck wrist that has the stick in it so they can both light her. They walked around Hailey 3 times then lit the wood by her foot and rest the stick to burn with her. Noah and Mr. Beck walked over to Hailey and shared a group hug, all crying. The funeral is now over and the pastor just left. Everyone walked by the cars, getting ready to go back home. Noah came up to me, rest one hand on my waist and one on my stomach, after calming down

Noah: Take care of yourself baby

Dixie: Please dont leave me again

Noah: I dont really have a choice

Noah and i pulled eachother close to our bodies and shared a long hug before we pulled away

Dixie: Im not ready for you to leave me again

Noah: I will be back soon babe

Dixie: Get better quickly for bean and i, my love

Noah: I will. I love you so so so much baby. Dont forget that while im away and dont let anyone make you think that i will want to leave you or stop loving you after i come back

Dixie: I love you too babyboy

Noah and i shared a long kiss then we pulled away and he kissed my forehead and my stomach. He went and hugged his dad and Tatum then went and stand by the passenger seat of Jacks car

Noah: Im going to miss you guys

Tim: We will miss you too Noah. Jack, my man, make sure to keep me updated

Jack: I will

Noah: Dont stress yourself out while im gone, worrying for me babygirl. The next time that you see me, i will be better than ever

Dixie: I know that but please get better as soon as possible

Noah: Good bye

Noah and Jack entered the car then drove away. I know that im going to miss Noah more than ever, especially since he asked me to be his girlfriend again today then had to leave. Charli came up to me and hugged me then pulled away and stood next to me

Bryce: Take his advice Dix, dont worry about him

Charli: He is in good hands to get better

Marc: We only have one car with 8 people so how are we fitting?

Tim: I will drive. Tatum and Bryce will sit in the front seat. In the back seat, Charli will sit ontop of Marc, Madi will sit ontop of Heidi and Dixie will sit in the middle of Marc and Heidi. How does that sound?

Marc: Good

We all got into the car, squashed and drove home
